Bible Study Verse: Romans 3:23  For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. (NLT)

Thoughts: Boom! Click, Click, Click, Click. Reload, Boom! Click, Click. Reload, Boom! Click, Click. I have been sighting in my new muzzleloader this week. These actions have been repeated several times as I try to get things in line. Things don't fly perfectly. When I first started this process, I was at 50yd and couldn't hit the side of a 24in square box. My scope wasn't seated well. Then, I had to restart the process over again. Finally, I brought the gun to zero, with good groups; but it took some time.

Action Point: I also miss God's Mark. My life is one of being a sinner. "For everyone has sinned. . . "I need Him to straighten up my sights and keep after me until I shoot straight. I still may mess up, but the next verse is really the most important: Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins (Romans 3:24). He can make me shoot straight--to cause me to hit His Mark, His Righteousness; because through His righteousness, he makes me righteous.

Sportsmen's Tip of the Day: Go out and have fun shooting, reloading, checking stands and even spotting game. It's summertime, the hunting is slow; but it's a great time to spend teaching a young one how to shoot.
